The Shadow’s Return

Reflection

Moment of Testing

Not as it was,
but as an echo.

Old patterns,
old fears,

trying to take root
in ground that has already changed. 

It can feel like nothing has shifted. 

But beneath the surface,
something is different.

The ground is not the same.

The echo may rise,
but it does not hold
as it once did.

And in that quiet noticing,

something deeper
begins to take root

instead.
